I was thinkinking that but where can you buy them and how do they get them to 'float in the mold of wet soap? Do they do it in sections i.e. fill the loaf mold say a quarter full them drop in a tube and let it dry, then cover with more wet soap and drop in another tube and let it dry again etc? Didn't explain that very well but hope you can understand what I mean! Also, where can you buy long tubular molds or is this something they're likely made themselves?

I think that's how you'd do it....I'm honestly not sure, as I don't do those kind of embeds....it's pretty tricky though adding hot soap to cold soap, as the hot soap can melt the cold soap and you'd end up with mis-shapen hearts :) SplishSplash are obviously total experts at doing this kind of thing....Try dennys for embed moulds - I think he has some...

Thanks Shane, that site is so slow it's unbelievable, I gave up on it in the end athough I did stick it out long enough to see the how you do it page! I'll try again later and see if it's any faster!
